Pogress Report - Hadinah ♡

Hadinah here reporting my progress report on my part as the artist! The pages of the book are still in progress.


So far what I've completed is the planning of the character profile.

Sun - Hee is my favourite.  Why Sun - Hee looks like that is because I wanted to
show the readers how Sun -Hee usually reacts to the different situations in the story because she
usually appears on many chapters. I also wanted to show the innocent younger sister look.

Tae - Yul was really hard to draw. Why I made him look like so is because I wanted to show the readers
that not only that he is the a caring older brother towards Sun -Hee but also joined the
Imperial army for the sake of his family.

Omoni looks different from what the book described but, still a motherly figure. Why I gave her this looks is
because on many chapters of the book she always showed her soft side and cried a lot. But there
were some times that Omoni put on a straight face.

I gave Abuji this look  because he is the vice - principal of the elementary school. Abuji usually
takes a calm attitude towards any situation in the story. But sometimes when things get  really rough,
he tends to lose his temper for a moment but will collect himself.

The fun, carefree Uncle. I drew him like that because he is usually making jokes and smiling all the time towards
the family. Thus, I drew him smiling a lot. But when the Japanese made new laws now and then,
his smile would slowly fade.

Sorry its not coloured. Didn't want to take up too much time just planning the character profile. I'm satisfied with how they turned out. I don't know about the others though. Guess they just have to deal with it.


I also did the planning of how the overall outlook of the pop-up book would look like.

Group Discussion 3

And so the group discussion continues yet again. The progress is really slow. Slower than we thought it would be. But we will make it up by doing 'after school'  sessions.
We did okay I guess. Big improvement.

Papers from group discussion 1 to group discussion 3.

So, today was a much more stressful day for us. Some of us got distracted a number of times. Guess we were really restless being it Monday.

The group members were able to finish all their summaries on each chapter and Hadinah was able to sketch down her ideas in her notebook and when at home she can start drawing the real things.

We decided to do stuff separately first and when we are able to get together again, we are able to compile them all together.

We planned on which parts in the Chapters we should concentrate on and the pop-up characters in the story.

--> Hadinah will do the pop-up sketches. She being the artist.

--> Suzanne has started doing the cardboard cover for the book. She will decorate it with recycled newspapers and make the headings with colour paper. 

--> Glenn will do the strip of papers that are needed to make the pop-up effect.

--> Sharham & Clement will have to help the group organize the stuff that we have already completed.


This is what we planned during the discussion. Hopefully we would be free to discuss outside of class to speed up the process of this group project and start doing the pop-up book before the next literature class.
A bit stressful since we have other projects too but we'll try. :)




Another STATUS REPORT :

Not a lot of things planned this week compared to last week but the lesser the better. We can get out separate jobs done completely then it'll make things easier. Somehow O.o


Thing are done separately in this group so when we meet up again it would be easier since we always get distracted when in a group.


SOLUTION 1 :
Since each group members has already gotten the USERNAME and PASSWORD for the blog, they will separately update their progress on their individual works. The Blog Administrator and whoever is helping him or her would then sort out all the entries into one single blog post on our progress.


SOLUTION 2 :
Each group member takes their on pictures of their progress on each of their part. The Blog Administrator will then take all the pictures from them and make a blog post.

>DECISIONS WILL BE MADE<

Next meeting will be really soon..~

SHOUT OUT TO GROUP MEMBERS ! :

THINGS TO BRING ON THE NEXT GROUP MEETING :

Group Discussion 2

And we're back again!

So during this week's discussion we had to do out Status Report. Where we had to discuss about our Jobs Planned, Jobs Completed, Jobs Yet To Be Done & Things To Bring on 26 March when our next discussion will take place in class.

Might we tell you that any discussion outside of class will still be updated.. ^^

So, our STATUS REPORT :

THINGS TO BRING ON 26 MARCH :
- Total summary on each Chapter from every group members.
- Cardboard provided by Glenn
- Art materials (Marker, pens, glue, scissors etc.)
- Colour paper

> STILL HAS YET TO BE DISCUSSED <

During the group discussion we had a little bit of time to spare so we used it to plan the pages we needed for the book in total so it wouldn't be to thick and to distribute the chapters for each member to summarize.

CHAPTERS SUMMARY :

Suzanne : Chapters 11 & 21

Clement : Chapters 5

Glenn : Chapters 10 & 27

Hadinah : Chapters 7, 15 & 30

Sharham : Chapters 12 & 29

PAGES NEEDED :

Total estimated pages needed : 12 pages

That was all we were able to complete the following week on Monday there will be another class discussion then after that on Wednesday we will have our own planned meeting. 'Till then, if there is anything new we will keep on updating.

Group Discussion 1

During the discussion we had to discuss a few important matters first. We had to decide on roles, decide on the task we plan on doing like for example, scrap book, story book etc. Then we had to decide on the 12 events we want to concentrate on throughout the whole project.

We had decided on the following things :

ROLES :

Suzanne Koh --> Leader

Clement Toh --> Blog Administrator

Glenn Tan --> Recorder

Nur Hadinah --> Artist

Sharham --> Presenter / Resource

TASK :

- Simple story book

- Picture book

12 EVENTS :

Chapter 2 : Choosing of names.

Chapter 7 : Hiding of the Sharon tree.
Chapter 10 : Tae - Yul seeing airplanes.
Chapter 11 : Mrs Ahn getting punished for speaking Korean.
Chapter 12 : Tae - Yul's bicycle gets taken away.
Chapter 15 : False alarm from Sun - Hee to Uncle.
Chapter 21 : Tae - Yul enlisted into the Imperial army.
Chapter 27 : Tae -Yul becomes a Kamikaze.
Chapter 29 : Tae -Yul's letter.
Chapter 30 : Tae - Yul returns home.

REASONS : 

Suzanne - They are very interesting. Keeps you glued to the book. The suspense makes it harder to tear your eyes away from the pages

Hadinah - The events are important throughout the whole story. Without these events the story would be incomplete.

Glenn - They portray important events and situations that contribute deeply yo the story and the characters.
Clement - They show values that can be learnt by the readers.
Sharham - They show atrocities the Japanese did to the Koreans.


That is mostly all the things were able to discuss about with the time given by Miss Jumiah.
